Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches W. Great Lakes Contour vs Grand Am Part 2

Well if its something that majority would be interested in doing its a possibility. I am not opposed to showing too. Just have to keep in mind this wil make the event BIGGER and require a little more planning. Let me know what the low down is. Do you have aol im? If not I guess we can e-mail back and fourth.

Sorry,

I don't have AOLIM. my e-mail is soundqsvt@yahoo.com

If this is something that people would like to have included, just let me know. We can have any or all of the 3 formats that SLAP offers:
SLAPdB - Sound Pressure competition
SLAPdBq - Sound Quality competition
SLAP Show-n-shine - car show judging

All that is needed for these formats is a parking lot and some electrical power (at least 1 outlet). I am not familiar with the layout at Byron at all, so if these are not available, please let me know. Actually, I am not even sure where the racetrack is.

If the non-racing SLAP activities are wanted, I can take care of all the planning since I am already hosting 2 of these events myself.

Just let me know what the consensus is.

Yes, I just love the 'humor' that has frequented this site. The word 'a$$hole' is just so funny. :rolleyes:

hey SoundQ Svt, there is a post about wanting to see sound systems, here is the thread , i put a good word in for you already. peace

Your not going to get any power outlets at Byron. So I think that kind of puts the skids on any kind of sound competition. Do have a question though. How long as SLAP been around? Also as for the planning that would be a pretty descent ride for you up to Byron. You do know that dont you?

Damn Dan you seem so depressed! Why don't you go get drunk or smoke some **** and relax a little. Don't let things bother you so much or your gonna end up going ****ing psycho! Just say So ****in What! SFW man!
Peace

Yeah Dan. Seriously I am an a$$hole. Don't take what is said so serious. Why do you care what everybody thinks?

Well, the outlet would have been nice to have, but the spl meters do have batteries. I'd just have to make sure they were fully charged. Either that or get our hands on a little portable generator.



The Sound Looks And Performance Association (SLAP) is new in 2002 as a sactioning body. However, SLAPshow.com (the creator of the SLAP Association) has been doing turn-key IASCA sanctioned car audio event management since 1996 and hosting show-n-shine events since 2000. There are already 8 SLAP-sanctioned events going on in northern and central Illinois in 2002, with a few more in the pipeline that may or may not come to fruition.

For any more information about SLAP, please check out their website www.slapshow.com or ask me and I'll try to answer as best I can.

As for the ride to Byron, it is up by Rockford, isn't it? I wouldn't actually need to be there until the morning of the event, really. My planning would be to coordinate with whomever is going to be coming from SLAP to do the show (which would be one of 3 people, and I might be one of those three the way the year is going) and make sure the proper promotion occurs and the certified judges get lined up. I might even be able to line up a few manufacturer demo vehicles if they are available.

The catch: I _might_ be limited on the date availability... I am hoping to be able to piggy back the Byron event with another SLAP-sanctioned event in Canton, IL (which has yet to be assigned a date) if at all possible. That way the guy from SLAP can come up from Georgia and do both shows in a single weekend. But a lot of things would need to fall into place for that to happen. It would be wonderful if it did, but it doesn't mean the show couldn't happen if it didn't.

Question: would the racing at Byron be on a Saturday or Sunday? or does it matter?

And of course, this is all based on whether or not people want it to happen at Byron at all. I just thought it would be good to have multiple automotive activities going on at the same place, but maybe the facility can't accomodate it.

Just let me know.

Hey Steve, theres one or two focus guys on www.club-focus.net that are in the area. I'll see if I can get their attention.

I am still waiting for someone from here to be the Contour represtive. Come on I know someone must want to reresent the Tours here. Ohterwise I am going to have to go it alone and try to come up with everything myself. If that is how everyone wants it that isnt a problem with me. Just thought I would give each group a chance to have some say. Trying to be as fair as I can. So what do you all say?
